The CATA has strong and longstanding relationships in both local and state governmental bodies. However, to continue this effort, we must work together on an annual basis to maintain, strengthen and expand those relationships in legislative and regulatory affairs. One of the main reasons for the strong relationships is the great support CATPAC/NADA PAC has been able to provide our legislative team. To that end, it is of vital importance that we maintain that support in the upcoming years.

Our lobbying firm coordinates our efforts to maximize impact, but almost every CATA dealer member has governmental contacts who need to be cataloged to assist in accomplishing our collective goals. Please assist us in this mission whenever you can help make contact with a member of a government legislative body or other elected official.

Dealers are strongly encouraged to participate in the collective efforts of the CATA by contributing to CATPAC. CATA legislative efforts and governmental affairs are assisted by the Marquardt group and coordinated for our membership through the board of directors only.

Please alert the CATA about any relationships you have cultivated with state and local legislators that you think can bolster the association’s outreach efforts.
